Two of the most iconic landmarks in Vicksburg are the dual bridges spanning the Mississippi River and crossing the border into Louisiana. The Old Vicksburg Bridge, which was built in 1930, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and exclusively supports rail traffic while the Vicksburg Bridge was constructed parallel to the existing bridge in 1973 and handles all vehicle traffic.
